Chapter 1036: Setting the Bait

As Qie Wang stepped into the hospital ward, he saw Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang. To his astonishment, the former's legs were intact. "Xuning, your legs look fine. Why is everyone saying that you lost your leg?"

Xie Xuning and Li Qingcang exchanged a knowing look. They did not expect word to travel so fast.

"How did you know about that?"

Qie Wang gave them a strange look. "She called me to ask me about it."

Xie Xuning asked, "What did you tell them?"

Qie Wang placed his hand on his chest. He declared truthfully, "Of course I told her your leg was amputated, but what's wrong with you guys? Now I have to lie for you guys."

Xie Xuning asked him solemnly, "Qie Wang, are you my brother?"

Qie Wang was indignant. "How can you ask me such a question? Haven't I always treated you like a brother?"

"If you are my brother, please keep this a secret from now on. You must not tell anyone, no matter who that person is."
